I thank everyone for all their suggestions, but nothing helped. I also
tried a few tips I found on Microsoft pages, but still no luck.
I finally just took the direct approach and downloaded and reinstalled
WMP10. It works perfectly now.
I hate to use a sledgehammer when a screwdriver should work, but sometimes
it's the only way!
Thanks again to everyone,
